Commemorative Giving

Many members and friends of the American Academy of Pediatrics make donations to honor friends and family members by recognizing their birthdays, career achievements, personal milestones, or to commemorate the memory of a loved one. The “Dedicate a Brick” program and the commemorative garden are just two ways to make your gift a lasting legacy on Academy grounds.

Friends of Children Fund

Contributions to the Friends of Children Fund (FCF) enable the AAP to support high priority activities, respond to emerging child health issues and continually generate new knowledge about the best way to care for children. Donations may be restricted to a specific AAP program or unrestricted and be used for important programs and projects through Friends of Children Fund grants.

Endowments

The Tomorrow’s Children Endowment (TCE) was created to ensure financial support to confront the challenges that children, pediatricians, medical subspecialists, and surgical specialists will face in the Future. TCE income will enhance the ability of the AAP to carry out research, education, advocacy and community service programs and initiatives that advance Pediatrics.

Throughout its history, the American Academy of Pediatrics has partnered with corporations and foundations at the local and national level to support our mission to attain optimal, physical, mental and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents and young adults.
